Our first project is Senior Capstone Experience. Metadata creation will start from senior theses. Firstly, we need convert WORD into PDF, which will be read only. We request that all the papers should be submitted with clear title, author full name, optional abstract and keyword, which will be ready to create metadata.
The default metadata scheme on DSpace is Dublin Core. We create and customize metadata according to the feature for each paper. Some papers provides more bibliographic information, such as table of contents, extra contributor to their paper, e.g. advisor, non-control vocabularies for keywords etc., we try to ingest more bibliographic information to our metadata creation, and create more access entries for users. At same time, it also means extra work for us, we need validate subject heading offered by authors. Theses which cross disciplinary will be linked to all related disciplines to ensure users can find them at any related departments. With medatada creation for each record, now users can search them.
